I pretty have a Key a Kiss one down. Just some slight imperfections. Boom Boom Fire I'm ok on. Currently I learning Night of Fire. Rather embarrassing when you talking to you friends. Ya know just hanging, while you watch them play Initial D. But as soon as Night of Fire comes on you start Para Para'n.

*cough cough* Hey mods give a sticky *cough cough*

The part during the chorus where you step off to the left and hop n clap right before the part crossing your arms in front of you 2x? Dear gawd I am really memorizing this stuff.

Someone told me it seemed kinda stupid to memorize the routines rather than just following the character on Para Para mode. He said he didn't see the point in it. The wandered off to play DDR. I think he was only there to see boobies bounce. And yeah I am now on the quest for the clothing to Para Para in for proper support, comfort, and roomy enough to move in. Gee I already have a DDR waradrobe. Now a Para Para one shall be acquired.

It noticed the CG girl does not always perform the moves identical to the routines. I suppose the graphics and the engine of PPP 2nd are not up to par to do the job. Just curious... why did they toss in the CG characters? Anyone know where I can find pics of them? Cosplay madness is starting to take hold of me.

The routines are slightly off because it is difficult to capture every movement in a motion capture suit, they did the best they could. They used Richie from the PPP video series as the dancer and captured her movements. One possible reason the designers decided to add CG dancers to help with routines is that the optional DVD video cabinet was too expensive for some arcade owners to buy and show routines on. This cabinet is synchronized with the game to show the routine while playing but it is hella expensive. Instead of this designers probably thought owners would be happier with a CG dancer in the back showing routines. Lastly a place where you can find the pictures??? Try searching around the Konami PPP website. http://www.konami.co.jp/am/para/index.html

I had played Para Para Dancing in the mall almost 2 years ago and thought it was fun and now that I have a JPS2, I decided to get the home version of Para Para Paradise.

I got the game and the controller in the mail today.

So far, the game seems like fun but the controller is really sensitive, picking up the slightest movement over a sensor so I am constantly triggering 2 sensors at once, not that it really matters though.

It almost reminds me of Samba De Amigo but without maracas of course. The songlist seems kind of limited with about 20 songs but I guess I'll have to find out if that is a problem later on since I may get bored with the game. But since I only paid $65.50 for both the controller and the game (got to like Ebay for the great deals) even if I do get bored with the game, I'm sure I'll get my money's worth out of it.

It's really fun with friends over. If you want try to get a second controller and then invite friends over to play against in the 2 player mode.

I would consider it but I haven't had any friends come over to my house to play video games in almost 2 years so I probably would never use the 2nd controller much. My friends all go away to school and don't live at home so I don't get to see them that often.

Yeah I am toying with getting a second controller. As of now, I am the only person in my area that actually plays it "alot" and with zeal.

Hi,

I'm a total noob, and want to get into PPP, does anyone know where I can get it from?

thank you,

fighter965 · Trick Member Joined: 14 Jun 2002 Location: So. Cal.

Can you be a little bit more specific?

You want to buy an arcade machine or do you want to buy the home version? Do you want to know where you can get routines or just locations on where to play?

Khaki_29uk · Trick Member Joined: 05 Oct 2002

You can buy the game and controller from ebay, toy'n'joys... BTW You will need a Jap PS2 or a chipped one.

You can download some vids from http://www.neoparapara.com/

I think there is a code that you can put in, think it's called P-Movie, which plays the PPA, Parapara All-Stars, in the background so you can follow them.

(from paraparastage.com)
-Access Option Menu = Random, Hidden, Sudden, Mirror, and Hi-Speed: On song selection screen, hold down left and right until option screen appears.
-Expert Another Option = On song selection screen, press left, right, left, right quickly. You should hear a sound indicating that the code has been put in.
-P-Movie Mode = On the song selection screen, hold left and right. Choose your options and then exit the menu. You should see an option called P-Movie.

These are all the codes for PPP for the PS2. It isn't the "bouncing" CG girl in the 2nd mix but it is the official PPP dancers instead.
